The company's current price stands at $13.63, slightly down from the previous close of $13.64. Over the past year, HarborOne has experienced a stock return of 11.27%, which lags behind the S&P 500's return of 17.82% during the same period.
Key financial metrics reveal a P/E ratio of 22, alongside a price-to-book value of 0.97. The company's EV to EBIT is reported at 37.75, while the EV to EBITDA stands at 30.17.
